Bus and train ride to Bugis


Since the boys esp Brian loves trains and bus rides so much, we decided to take a bus, then an MRT to Bugis

Enjoyed their rides, and we ended up in Swenson for lunch

visibly pissed with the long wait

Finally, the set which he chose for himself is here!
Posing with his age just like his brother..

Eating heartily... yum yum..

Busy with cutting fries after he had his fair share of his meal..
Inspired by Cooking mama

Dessert...

Very pleased with his choice!

And finished it off in no time!

All complete with a helmet

My little biker.. erm.. he calls himself a policeman..

bangkok D5 Chartuchak Weekend market

The animal section of Chartuchack market

I dun like this section, and in fact i think it is better not to be in close contact with the live birds/chickens/ducks etc.

The furniture section was great. We were excited and planned to come back to get some things if we get a new house! Great things under a theme with lots of variety and affordable prices.. include a basins, lights, and doorknobs and other deco items!!!

These are not real.. and i think Brian would love it. If only we could buy them and let Brian run a provision shop in our house.. haha, he would be delighted! Anyway, the best we could do was buy a durian back for him, and he was so happy that the first thing he asked for when i came back was the durian!

A short rest after a lot of shopping
Coconut icecream!

Nice presentation and it tasted fantastic!!!

Lime ice cream which i lost count of the number i had

The stall selling the ice cream.. hmm,.. i miss it!


More shopping and we were quite tired.
Took a break for lunch. This is the area selling food. Then we ate at on the steps opposite the stalls, and i shall not post unglam photos of us eating on the steps..

cuttlefish egg which looks like carrot cake.. nice.

Energized and we carried on with our intensive shopping!!!!

Bought too many things, and decided that we had to go back to our hotel to deposit our things before we go back for more shopping!

Had our dinner at MK restuarant again!
Satisfied with our dinner and we are ready to go again!!!


Chartuchak at night is quite different! The shops are closed but there are many little stalls opened by the road.
It is a totally different relaxing feel.

More eating along the way.

Going back to our hotel in the tuk tuk as somehow no taxis wanted to drive us back to the hotel which is so nearby..

Bangkok D4

Spent our half a day back at the Platinum mall area to complete my shopping.
The whole area is too big to be complete in one day!!!
Then we went back to enjoy our massage..
Daddy happily waiting for his relaxing massage

patiently waiting for our turn

Finally...
But this time it was not as good as the first time.. it is very much therapist dependent I guess

Then we went back to our hotel to put our heavy bags of shopping loots..
Wanted to go to Chartuchak,, but was told by the locals that there is no point going on a Friday night.
So we decided to treat ourselves to a good dinner
Decided on MK restaurant

And it turned out to be surprisingly good!
Almost Coca's standard but less that half the price!

Very good chilli sauce!

Our 1 for 1 drink..

Since we are not going to Chartuchak.. so we shopped around again, bought tidbits back to our hotel to chill

Daddy enjoying his magnum ice cream..
It feels great to be able to chill like that..
And luckily there are quite a few shopping malls rite next to our hotel!

Bangkok D3

 
This is the day I have been looking forward to..
A full day of shopping.
Started at Platinum mall
Shopped till lunch time... too busy for more photos!
Lunch at Mac as there were no other choices
 
Cannot help but have Baskin Robbin again..
Took a tuk tuk to MBK
 

We enjoyed the ride :)
 
Then it was shopping at MBK, but we did not really buy much
Went to Siam center/Siam discovery..
Wow.. nice place for shopping!
Wanted to go for massage nearby but could not find the way, was advised to take train to somewhere else instead due to bad traffic




So off we go to the train station
The view of the shopping area from the platform..


More shopping complexes, amazing rite

This is a different type of trains from the one we usually took, very complicated..

And very crowded too!

After a lot of effort, we finally reached!!!

Health Land spa and massage
Apparently most of the massages are fully booked even so late!
So we had to go for another type which is slightly more costly but still considered cheap compared to those in spore
I must say this is the best massage I had in my life!
Absolutely enjoyed it and it made me so relaxed after a whole day of shopping
Hence we decided that we had to book an appointment as we are coming back tomolo!!!

Quite late after our massage, so this is our dinner cum supper
 

The worst tasting spaghetti.. but the massage was unforgettable!
